P. S. I missed it before, but the reverse sneezing sometimes can trigger a panic attack in some dogs - and it accompanies the attack with others. The second time Tibbe ever reverse sneezed, he had a panic attack - white gums, shaking, trying to isolate. I gave him some honey, dotted a very tiny spot of it around the den floor in a little path of it & he was soon very interested in finding all the honey spots and was fine in just a bit. The white gums turned pink and he was happy again. He's not diabetic so all was fine but later found that tossing kibble treats and getting him barking and running helped distract him and helped his get his mind off what worried him, helped him work out the adrenaline and worked just as well as a path of honey and I didn't have to mop the den floor afterward!!!
